Thanks Modernity, The evidence of research ability is one of the main elements, besides GPA. I'd think it's better to have my master thesis successfully completed, with or without awards. By looking at the completion of the thesis, the committee may be more likely to grant admission??? Anyway, I will go ahead and apply :-). Thanks !

I'm currently enrolling in a master program and will finish either in December 2012 or April 2013. As the application deadline for PhD is usually December 31 or January 1, I'd like to start applying before my master degree is conferred, meaning start applying in October 2012. I wonder if the probability of being admitted is lower, given that I don't have my degree conferred, although I'm eligible to apply... Any suggestions? Also, which PhD in Finance programs are among the best in Canada? Thanks in advance !

Hi all, I'm going to apply for a PhD program in Finance at the following schools: UBC, McGill, University of Toronto, and Columbia University. I wonder if any of you, Finance PhD candidates, could share your application elements such as GRE, GPA, and many others which made you got admission into your PhD program. I just want to see what I should expect to start my application process. Really appreciated.
